What You Will Do
This delicious tour takes you on a 2 to 2.5 hour journey through Ghent whilst you pamper your taste buds and let your endorphins have a party. Combine a walking tour with yummy chocolate related tastings without feeling guilty!
Our Ghent Chocolate Tour starts at the Jacob Van Artevelde statue in the middle of Vrijdagmarkt, where your guide will welcome you and give a brief introduction. From there, you will go and explore the city center and make stops at Korenlei, the three Ghent medieval towers, Graslei and of course the famous Graffiti Street. Learn about the connection between a famous chocolate and the World Expo, hear the story about two Greek brothers, their passion for this aphrodisiac and how one of them became world-famous.
You will make 5 to 6 stops and your tastings are all very different from one another as each place has its speciality. You also get discounts with some partners as part of the tour, should you wish to purchase any chocolates to take home.

This tour will give you a good overview of the city of Ghent whilst you sample your way through the different chocolate tasters. It is the perfect combo. You start at Vrijdagmarkt and make several stops to take photos, learn more about and admire the 3 medieval towers (Saint Nicholas Church, Saint Bavo Cathedral, the Ghent Belfry), Saint Michael's Church (Sint-Michielskerk), the famous quays of Graslei and Korenlei, Graffiti Street and the many squares of Ghent. This is however just a snapshot. We do vary our tours and therefore they are always different. But you will have had a full sightseeing tour with all the famous landmarks included.
